Guess this is our very last Christmas Challenge this year? How about a

Vintage Christmas

Well, this vintage challenge theme was inspired by another beautiful city I've been to

Aspen, Colorado in United States.

Aspen's elevation is 7,890 feet, it could snow as early as September, when downtown Aspen is covered with snow, it looks just like a Christmas Town.

Look at this prize package, don't you want to be that lucky winner? If I were you, I'll run over to Cassi's Creations right now and grab one of those beautiful creation of Cassandra before it is gone!

Here's a little about Cassandra and her pretty Etsy Shops

My artistic journey has been an interesting one! Each turn has molded me into what I am today. This is very apparent as you flip through the pages of my shop. From the royal queen, wonderland and fairyland. What inspires me most, has taken many different turns. I enjoy making collage sheets, because it allows me to create my own story, my own characters to share with others. I have never been that great at drawing or painting, but digitally I can repurposed vintage images and create unique hand designed accents to help bring my dreams to life. If you stop by, I do hope you enjoy flipping through the pages of my artistic journey. And if one of my images do inspired you, nothing makes me happier than to see a lovely creation with one of my images.

This week we are are being sponsored by Di's Digi Designs. They have tons of beautiful images available in the shop that are perfect for any occasion! Please visit their website and check out their fabulous goodies HERE!

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4 years ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I'm afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Thanks Diane, for sponsoring us this week, the winner will get to choose 5 images of their choice from Diane's fabulous creation at Di's Digi Designs

Hi all! This is Cheryl back with this week's theme: Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! *well, at least on your projects. I adore the look of snow on projects, but am strictly a warm weather girl, myself...so the only snow I get is the kind I create. I am hoping you will join us too, with some really *cool* projects...yes, pun intended...I'm so cheesy! The challenge is to create any project (card, layout, altered item, decor) with some kind of image of snow on it, whether it be snow or a snowflake or a snowman or snowlady. Let the snow fall! I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

We are so excited to introduce you all to this week's Guest Designer, Luz Maria Bruna.We are quite sure you will be inspired by Luz's beautiful work. You need to check out her blog, Luzma's Scrap Place.
